In this, the third episode in a new series for The HR Uprising – REAL HR, Lucinda chats to real-life HR professionals about their career and lessons learned. Thus discovering the many ways we can raise each other up through shared experiences.
Anette Nance is not only a great example of an HR professional, but also has an incredible backstory, including a former career in the military, a specialism in career coaching, and a degree in psychology. Anette joins Lucinda to discuss her professional journey, the similarities between HR roles in civilian life and the military, and the many lessons she’s learned along the way.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

HR work in the military is surprisingly similar to HR work anywhere. Proper protocols and procedures must be adhered to, and administration is abundant.
Certainly, the problem for veterans who have served in an administration capacity, is the translation of the skills acquired to the civilian landscape of business.
Indeed, making sure we connect and spend time with family and friends helps to keep us focused on why we work the way we do. Furthermore, contextualising our efforts allows us to remain complete in terms of aspirations.
When we take on a role at any company, we must also assume the responsibility of becoming that company’s ambassador, and exhibiting its values in our professional life. It’s important to choose wisely, for this reason.

BEST MOMENTS

‘A lot of the work we did centred around the person’
‘If you do not implement the skills then you will not grow the skills’
‘My inheritance for my children, and my children’s children, is the work that I’m doing now’
‘I want to learn, and continue to talk in a way that is not deficit based'
